Songs & Recordings
John Allen & Richard Varey

Guitartist, Media Composer, Singer/Song Writer & Conductor. PRS & MU registered musician with extensive performance and recording experience. Masters Degree qualified Film & Television Composer as well as a trained Choral & Orchestral Conductor. 

As a Media Composer I am mainly inspired by the work of John Barry, Ennio Morricone, Hans Zimmer, Klaus Doldinger, James Honer and Jerry Goldsmith, preferring to combine electronic, orchestral and rock instruments with radio-phonics and sound design. I like to be flexible in what I write for, being happy to adjust my composing style to suit specific needs. My favourite genres to write for are Science Fiction, Film Noir, Thrillers, Romance and Adventure.    

As a Guitarist and Singer/Song Writer, which is what I started out as and still do, I am influenced by players like Brian May, Steve Lukather, David Gilmore, Jeff Beck, Eddie Van Halen and many more. My favourite styles of music are Progressive Rock, Blues, Hard Rock and Fusion, enjoying the work of bands like Queen, Rush, Dream Theater, Pink Floyd, Toto and Led Zeppelin, to name just a few.
